Hello
I'm bulding a new processbook with a set of displays that I want to scroll using some VBA code. The probem is that I don't know how to get a reference of those Displays in a module, and I don't see them in the project explorer either.
I saw one of your topics where you get a reference in a Procedure, but I need to do the opposite. I need to create an instance from my code, to open the Display, and after a short time, close it and open another one.
All the Displays are in a Processbook (piw) file.
Is that Possible?
Your Comments.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
I saw another post where you got the scrolling thing going on, but you forgot to add an example when the Displays are part of a processbook workbook in order to access them.
Regards

Hi
Just got the way to do it, using the Entries class, and the Execute Method.
Regards

Hi Pulox, As you found out, it is possible  Very brief example when looking at Entries in a PIW to ensure it is an embedded display: Code:
Dim oEntry As PBObjLib.Entry
For Each oEntry In ActiveProcBook.Entries
If oEntry.Type = pbEntryPDIEmbeddedInLocalPIW Then
oEntry.Execute True
End If
Next
I presume you are calling your code to parse the PIW from another display file? What have you used as a timer? Cheers, Rhys. Principal Consultant
